Buying Advice After 1 year debating MX5200 is final decison

[displacedPA]

About a year ago I started looking at trading my current tractor. Today I've made my mind up on going with the following. My operations are beef cattle of the small scale and general farm work.

I have been getting pricing from two dealers one in KY, Barlows and a local one in NC. The NC guy is really pretty close to Barlows so im gonna keep my money local.

Gonna think on it anther day or so but, here is what I have had both dealers prices on. The prices I got from local guy are 13 percent off build my kubota site plus an addition 750 dollars off CIR and Zero for 60. Delivery is included with local guy.

MX5200 Gear, R1 tire 13.6-28 Titan Hi-Traction Lug rear tires, LA1065 loader sq back QA bucket, One set of rear remotes,

anyone have insight on those AG tires vs the 14.9-26 AG tires. Pros cons? I drove a unit with the 13.6 tires and liked it. He also said he would fill rears and when I asked with what he said methonal mix and I'm not comfortable with that so ill fill myself or get weights latter.

Thanks to all the MX owners out there. I think i have read every MX post on here to date.

Mixed with what?

he said water... this was the salesman talking though.

That would be about the same as adding windshield wiper fluid for ballast.
Winter grade windshield washer fluid has been in my rear tires for the past 14 years with no issues.

Thats good to know I had used RV anti freeze last time. Maybe I will have him fill tires.

I have WW in my rears, no problems at all.

Congrats on the new machine

I've got the 13.6x28s on my MX. I'm happy with them. Haven't compared them side by side, though. They must be the same outside diameter, though since the front tire size is the same.

From the little research I did, the only downside to WW fluid, compared to some other choices, is the specific gravity (weight per gallon, if you prefer) isn't as high as some fluids like beet juice or, heaven forbid, calcium chloride. Better than nothing, for sure. Love to see some photos when you get her home!

I have the MX5100. The only thing I did differently was get a larger bucket for the loader. Mine is still a heavy duty bucket (450lbs) but it takes 3/4 cubic yard stacked. It sure saves trips with loads under 1500 lbs. I move 250 yds of mushroom compost routinely for the produce garden. I really like the tractor having been through a JD60 and an IH574 in the last 35 years. I have the 26 inch wheels with AG tires. Add chains for the winter and it goes everywhere I have pointed it.
